Hi everyone.

I bought myself a skyline last week and because i am uncertain as to

how its previous owner treated it I am giving it a working over. I will be doing a complete service and changing the timing belt and other little things so i was wondering about resetting the ECU so it tunes itself to suit BP ULTIMATE.

I have noticed that the car has pretty bad fuel economy at the moment even when i drive it easy and I was hoping that resetting the ECU would help with that also.

Even though there are many threads dedicated to this, none of them really touch on the effect it has on aftermarket car alarms and imobilizers.

My car has a Mannix SM700 car alarm which I dont have the books for. It has a battery backup, remote start 2 sirens remote central locking and imobilzer. Does anyone have any hints they can give me so I dont stuff the settings up?

The only thing that will happen is that the sirens might go onto battery backup, and scream their lungs out. You should have a key to turn the sirens off in this situation.

Actually you don't need to disconnect the battery to reset the ECU. You simply short out 2 pins in the CONSULT port, located down by the fuse block, near your right knee.

    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
    • I just quote the Rolling Stones. Paint it black.
